## Trust

- hygiene: 100
- liveness: 99
- freshness: 100

- Derived from observable signals (official registry feed and our own credential-free probes); no code audit performed.

## Quality 92/100 (strong)

### protocol: 88 (weight 25)

- pass `protocol.modern`: supports 2026-07-28 (server/discover)
- pass `protocol.stateless`: answers without a session
- pass `protocol.transport`: streamable HTTP
- warn `protocol.list_ttl`: tools/list declares ttlMs 0, so clients re-fetch it on every use

### authorization: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `auth.prm`, `auth.as_metadata`, `auth.cimd`: no remote uses OAuth
- n/a `auth.secret_in_url`: no templated URL

### tool hygiene: 93 (weight 30)

- pass `tools.descriptions`: every tool has a description
- pass `tools.description_length`: descriptions are concise
- pass `tools.schemas`: every tool has an object input schema
- pass `tools.annotations`: 8 of 8 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- warn `tools.directory_hints`: 7 of 8 tools declare all four hints; missing: create_dashboard (idempotentHint)
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 1,390 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: 100 (weight 15)

- pass `stability.changes`: no tool changes in 30 days
- pass `stability.rug_pull`: no tool changed its meaning under the same name

### dependencies: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `deps.known_vulns`, `deps.mcp_sdk_version`, `deps.resolvable`: no npm or PyPI package

- tools: 8, about 1,390 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 99cbf4110efb880c637c193c225b5407
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/live.cityalert/cityalert.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/live.cityalert/cityalert)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (8)

- `create_dashboard`: Create a shareable dashboard. Returns {id, token} — the token grants write access via PUT /api/dashboards, so save it.
- `get_crime_year`: Full-year VPD crime data: totals and ranked neighbourhood stats. Vancouver only, 2003-present.
- `get_dashboard`: Read a saved dashboard by id (shareable, read-only).
- `get_incidents`: Merged live incidents from all feeds plus manual reports. Filter by region key, category, group, severity, source, or bbox. Results come from a shared ~15-minute snapshot; real-time refresh requires an API key with that entitlement (details: cityalert.live/developers).
- `get_news`: Per-region safety news items, or news for an arbitrary place name.
- `get_trends`: Historical aggregates: VPD crime by year/month/type (6y), USGS M4+ quakes per region (10y), GDACS global events (3y), report and live snapshot stats. Use for questions about patterns over time — crime trends, quake frequency, disaster cadence. For what's happening right now, use get_incidents.
- `list_regions`: List CityAlert focus regions (key, label, center, zoom, bbox). Use region keys with get_incidents.
- `submit_report`: File a manual geolocated incident report (same as POST /api/reports). Reports are moderated before they appear publicly. Errors: 'report submission disabled' if the caller is blocked; 'rate limited' past 20 reports/hour via MCP.
